Winter storm warning issued for Border City region

The previously-issued special weather statement has been ended, as a new winter storm warning has been issued forĀ  Lloydminster and surrounding communities in the area by Environment Canada.

According to the warning, a moisture laden low pressure system will cross into Alberta from BC late overnight. With this system snow, freezing and ice pellets can be expected as it pushes through central Alberta. The worst conditions can be expected Friday morning. Current indications are that the freezing rain and ice pellets will be south of the Yellowhead highway with heavy snow to the north. Total snowfall amounts will be in the 10 to 15 cm range.

Environment Canada also advised to consider the postponement of non-essential travel until conditions improve, and told residents to prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots will become icy, slippery and hazardous.

Winter storm warnings are issued when multiple types of severe winter weather are expected to occur together.

Further alerts and forecasts will be issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to [email protected] or tweet reports to #ABStorm.
